You have completed step 2; move on to step 3.

Enrolling your mobile phone will list your phone as a trusted device for your account, which YCCD Login servers can use to send you secret passcodes as text messages or voice calls that will allow you to reset your password.

• The passcodes can also be used in addition to your password for added security measure such as ‘Multi-Factor Authentication’.
  • To enroll your phone enter your phone number in the field and press the ‘Continue’ button (see ‘Figure 5’ below).
• To complete the mobile phone enrollment process enter the ‘One Time Passcode’ that you received on your mobile phone via text message and then click on the ‘Continue’ button (see ‘Figure 6’ below).
